New shots of the whole assembled rocket at the Cape:

Nice looking rocket; bears some resemblance to a Zenit booster.


Will be interesting to see how soon they can fly it.


It's pretty shocking how big this thing really is. In the second picture
from the top there's a full size truck which gives you some indication of
the size. The payload fairing along must be something like 6m in length. You
can put a BIG satellite in there!
